PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A Philadelphia newspaper has apologized to readers for mistakenly running an ad congratulating the Philadelphia Phillies on winning back-to-back World Series titles.


The Yankees held a commanding 3-1 lead in the championship as of Monday, the day the ad was printed in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The three-quarter-page Macy's ad is on the back of the front section and features a T-shirt with the Phillies logo, the commissioner's trophy and the phrase "Back To Back World Series Champions."
The Inquirer released a message to readers saying the paper deeply regrets the error.

Maybe they Know something ? We Don't Know ? :think2:

was it a Macy's ad? if so seems like whoever the proof readers are in layout and editing missed that, or a possible prank that will be exposed and someone loses their job.

Almost as bad as the Chicago Daily News' headline, "Dewey Defeats Truman" after the 1948 election.
